My 801 LR atomizer croaked yesterday. So, I popped on one from another manufacturer. This allowed me to get an accurate idea of its potential. When combined with the nhaler 14500 LIMN battery, the results are very, very impressive.
To get proper contact and no rattle I had already added every brass washer supplied to the switch, and the longer spring. When I first did this, I got little power and almost no hit on the old atty. Then an idea occurred. I removed the switch screw, cleaned it and the washers added silver grease to the screw hole and put it back together. It was worth it. I got pretty good performance even with the original SLB stamped atty.
This new atty does not touch down on the O ring, but that may be o.k. as it allows more air flow, which this atty makes good use of. I get big clouds of flavorful vape and more consistent overall battery performance.
My first impression of these batteries was wrong and I am glad that I waited, and tested some more, before writing this.
I look forward to trying out the unopened pack of 16340 LIMN's with the new Precise model soon.
I am not sure who makes nhaler's high drain batteries, and how they compare to AW, but I will try AW next and let you know if I observe any noticeable difference.
